I am one of those "I can't stand Tidus" folk. The Japanese Tidus is cool with me. Square should've given us a choice of choosing between Japanese and English voices.
Reasons for hatred towards English Tidus:
-Yeah, okay, his father was strict with him as a child. Okay? Don't you think he would have gotten used to it? I have, for Christ's sake. His mother died. Yeah, mourning is good for some time. One of my old friends lost both of her parents and she got through it perfectly. Tidus also believes/"knows" that there's a way to get back to Zanarkand.
-His voice was flat-out annoying. "OHMIGAWSH, hey guys! Let's *insert stupid saying here*!!!111$!@#%1358!1" The last thing I want to play as in a video-game, especially in a FF game, is a stupid, naive brat. I would have rather have played as a blade of grass that could do nothing but heal itself by using the sunlight. It, at least, wouldn't whine.
-He is just a whiny version of Cloud. If you haven't noticed, his Overdrives are horrible versions of some of Cloud's Limit Breaks:
Spiral Cut = Braver
-Deals a large amount of damage to one enemy
Energy Rain = Meteor Rain
-Deals a large amount of damage to all enemies
Blitz Ace = Omnislash
-Hits a single enemy(the blitzball kick at the end is just like Cloud's finishing Braver at the end of Omnislash)
Yeah, I loved Cloud to death. What's my beef with this? Why couldn't Square come up with new moves for the character? What angers me even more is that they made Cloud's clone a whiny idiot.
Yuna:
I had absolutely no problem with Yuna. She was down-to-Earth and had a heart of gold and a will made of steel. She was considered a traitor by basically the entire planet and was hunted down by even her old friends. Did she cry? Yeah, once. Once. Let me say that again. Once. Oh, there was that second time when she had to see the love of her life "disappear". And that leads to another reason why I hate Tidus. He'll cry for past events, but he won't cry while saying good-bye "forever" to the love of his life.
